One of the best cities I have lived in. Great city to invest in now because the city has future development plans that will raise property value higher.  More

There's definitely lots of jobs/economic opportunity. It's quite racially diverse if that's your thing. Houston has awful urban sprawl. Expect awful traffic. Hot as hell  More
